Certified* NC Workers’ Compensation Specialist

When you have an accident at work, your first thoughts may jump to questions such as: “Will I be okay?” “How will I pay my bills?” “Will I lose my job?”

Workers’ compensation laws were designed to protect workers by addressing those questions.

Recovering from an injury can be a frightening time and it’s hard to know which attorney to call. When your wages, your family, and your future are at stake, you deserve a specialist by your side. You certainly wouldn’t consult a foot surgeon about heart surgery. Likewise, do not hire just any attorney to handle your workers’ compensation case. Hire a specialist. Call Maggie, a Board Certified* Workers’ Compensation Specialist.

Maggie and her team will help you determine if you’re entitled to financial compensation after being injured on the job or suffering from a work-related illness.

If it is serious enough to keep you from returning to work, we can help with your claim. Benefits of workers’ comp typically include coverage for your medical expenses and lost wages, as well as compensation for permanent disability or disfigurement.

However, collecting the money you are due can be difficult. Workplace injuries must be reported as soon as possible to claim benefits. Any delay could cost you hundreds or even thousands of dollars owed to you.

Focus on taking care of yourself while Maggie and her workers’ compensation team at Shankle Law Firm, PA take care of your case. We are ready, willing, and able to fight for you!
